how is your paint holding up??? how long did you guys had them for?

im thinking about doing it myself.... not sure how long it will last...

 

Did it myself, it held up fine. You might get some typical chips here and there but that is inevitable. I have it professionally done now. Definitely recommend professionally sprayed, the quality is night and day difference.

I did. I've had it a few months. Even with several coats of clear coat on top it got chipped and isn't quite as glossy as I'd like it to be. It looks good but got a chip the second day.

How much was it?

 

Yeah I would recommend finding someone who owuld do it professionally for you. They would probably do it for about $100 (i'm guesing).

I scratched up my spoiler back when I had an MX-6. IThe shop repainted it for $150.00. So I'm guessing for something this smal it would be a similar cost.

 

I'm sure there has to be some more cost in labor, just because I believe you have to remove the bumper to take out the grill, my Audi was a matter of popping the hood and carefully pushing in the tabs, 2 minutes and it was out for paint.

 

^^^ You don't have to remove the bumper to take off grille. Taking off the grile takes 5 minutes.

Anyways, if you want a matte finish, do it yourself, if you want a glossy finish, get it professionally done.

 

Yeah mine took about 5 minutes to take off too... I painted mine with Dupli and it came out ok... It chips, but i'm pretty sure it'll chip getting professionally done too...

 

I had mine professionally done 8 months ago, and still no rock chips. Preparation is key!

 

i did dupicolor, and mines holding up great. i got one chip from a rock but that would happen no mater who painted it. If you want really glossy, try using the engine high heat paint, , Grill is easy and quick to remove, take a stab at it and see how it comes out, you can always paint it again. I have a DIY on here so use that to help you

 

A shop here does it with liquid Glasurit paint. PM me for their pricing.

I'd always choose quality over cost, that way I know it'll turn out right.
